Remarkable Discovery.

Last Monday as workmen were complet-
ing the work of excavating for the founda-
ton and cellar for Sam Young's new brick
at the corner of Broadalbin and First street
a most remarkable and unlocked for dis
covery was made. At depth of several
feet under ground remarkable tablet, eyi.
IDENTIFY wrought by human hands, but a
genuine relic Of primeval ages, yet one that
In its essential characteristic reaches down
TO the ever living active present was found
embedded in the sand and clay. Upon re
moving the dirt and sand from the tablet il
was found to be of rare and exquisite de-
sign, but Of recent origin being one Of the
relics left by the stupendous upheaval made
by Wallace & Thompson, (who formerly
occupied that corner) in getting down to
bedrock prices, hence this unique tablet
bore the appropriate inscription "For the
very best, freshest and cheapest groceries,
call on Wallace & Thompson"

Won by a Linn County Horse.

Last Saturday, at Eugene City, In the
free-for-alI race, "Autocrat," owned by Mr.
Abe HackIeman, OF this city, was entered
and won the race, trotting the fifth heat in
243H. "Autocrat" Is nine years old, was
sired By Autocrat, he by the famous Geo NJ
Patchan, and since year old has been on
Mr. Hackleman's ranch in Crook county,
until two or three months ago, when he
was brought TO this city and trained Con.
sidering the fact that he had never trotted
before, nor even been worked, and also the
slowness of the track, the time made was
remarkably fast, and indicates for next year
something under ?: 90, perhaps considerable.
"Antocrat" was brought to Albany the first
of the week and placed in Mr. Marshalrs
livery stable, where the DEMOCRATS horse
editor felt of his good points, and being al
ready informed on the subject, Is able to
pronounce the stallion very promising
one.

Fast Animals.

Mr., George Mcknight returned on Mon
day from The DalIes, where he had been to
attend the Wasco county fair, at which as
stated last week Mcknight Brothers Delco
easily won the two year old race. He
brought with him to Vancouver Oneco, and
left him there with Jay Beach, who will
train him for the free-for- all race next year.
1t Is confidently believed he will trot in less
than 2:2s Pricemont, who wen the two
year old race at the State fair and lowered
the record, is full brother of Oneco. His
owner, Mr. Smith, whois poor young man,
previous to the fair was not worth a cent
beside Pricemont, for whom he paid 5000.
The horse won $IIoo for him, and he after
wards refused $250o for the animal. Alta
mont stock Is proving TO be very reliably
fast Look out for 1888.

Tried to suicide

On THURSDAY Of last week S. w. IIite,the
milkman, attempted to commit suicide by
taking dose Of landanum, having puIchas-
ed the deadly drug the day before, claiming
It was for a sick child. DIR Maston was sent
for and brought the unfortunate man out all
right after two or three days treatment.
Mr.. Hite was tired of life, or thought he
was, owing to financial troubles, the milk
business being poor here,on account of every
COW owner in the city being a milkman,and
took the laudanum road in order to fec from
troubles he lacked the courageto face. That
Is an unfortunate condition for human be-
ing to be in but 1t is becoming frequent
one. This is too good a country to suicide
in, and it Is a fact that the number of at
tempts here is comparatively small.

Albany.

II Is customary to exaggeratc population.
II Is also difficult thing to get At the cor.
rect population Of city. Mr.C. w. Watts
has just revised his census for his Albany
directory taken In April, and makes the
present, bone fide white population OF the
city so7o. This docs not include sransients
at al, nor Cinnamon. Since the first OF May
os people have moved from Albany and 100
into II to reside. Mr. McDufiie, agent for
the New York Life Insurance Company
has counted every house in the city and
says the number Is 387, every one Of which
Is occupied. The DEMOCRAT simply gives
the figures presented II, without comment,
as that Is what Il Is published for. IL a
boom should really strike Albany some
time, as we hope fair sized one will, we
will be able TO appreciate the nature of the
present current. 1t Is sufficient that the
city Is showing a steady, reliable growth,
that business Ia good, some fine blocks, and
nice residences are going np and the pros.
poets are bright.

A NAN ABOUT TOWN.

The outlook la Linn county, according to
the M. "A. rs. observations, Is that In No.
vemher there will be three votes cast for the
pr0hibitory amendment to two against IT,
This viii give majority Of at least 6oo. In
some precincts the proportion will be S to !
but the general average may be counted on
a. stated with chances In favor Of an In.
creased vote for the amendment Men
everywhere who have the interest of the
home circle at heart, as the farming com.
munity has, will vote yes, ard at the same
time there Is no one having higher regard
for personal liberty Of the genuine Kind.
This cry Of personal liberty Is q mere eN.
cuse To catch the unwary. II would be as
reasonable TO favor theft IN order to equalixe
property that we might have personal lib
cry. Personal liberty has no place ia an
argument when the good of the State Il at
stake. An Institution that causes nine tenths
of the crime of the world Is at least equal to
the crime and should be abolished. A nox-
ious weed, though many like Us sting, should
be taken np BY the roots, even though few
